Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Barum Polaris 3 225-45-17-H Mercedes Benz CLK 320 CDI 6,000 miles November 18, 2018
Bought winter 2017. Snow grip was ok and I was able to get up steep hills covered in snow.
Dry and wet grip was adequate on the move, but the rear tires would often struggle to grip from standstill in wet or dry.
Tire wear was poor with the rears only having 3mm tread after 6,000 miles. The fronts had 6mm remaining.
I will use the fronts for another Winter, but the rears need replacing.

Radar Dimax R8 225-45-17- Mercedes Benz CLK 320 CDI 1,500 miles September 24, 2016
Bought a Mercedes CLK 320 CDI with these fitted to the rears and can honestly say they are the worst tire in the wet andem with a not much better in the dry. Replaced them with a pair of Michelin PS4. I can't imagine why people think cheap tires a good economy.

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 255-35-18-W Mercedes Benz CLK 320 CDI January 13, 2016
I found these tires really quite disappointing. I put them on as my preferred choice were unavailable; and I needed to get the car through an MOT.
I found the wet grip to be treacherous, with very little feedback. They'd just completely let go all of a sudden. They've worn pretty quickly; lasted 12 months exactly, maybe 12-15k I've not kept a detailed record, but in defence of the tires I did push them pretty hard at times. Dry grip isn't bad at all; but since a properly clean & dry road is so rare in this country, far less useful.

Primewell Sport 910 255-35-18-W Mercedes Benz CLK 320 CDI February 27, 2014
I bought for my Mercedes Benz CLK 320CDI - 2x 255 35 18 94W XL + 2x 235 40 18 95W Primewell Sport 910 from Ebay for a fantastic price. I changed the standard 17 inch wheels to 18 and bought these to go on them.

Very impressed with how these tires are in every area, my other car is a 515bhp Nissan Skyline so i'm used to buying a trying all types of tires etc

The Primewell Sport 910 is great quality tire, quiet with good grip in all weather conditions. So far i have only done approx 6000 miles on them and they still look brand new and feel great.

I live in Bristol and work in Gloucester so i commute everyday and use the motorway and also town driving etc i will definitely but these tires again for this kind of driving.

Very happy with them
